Nasal catarrh and all catarrhal affections Of
the head are not diseases of the blood, and il is
serious mistake to treat them as such. No
conscientious physician ever hopes or attempts
10 do so, vet patients are sometimes misled into
purchasing and using certain advertised sarsa-
parillas or other so-called blood medicines in
cure catarIh. As matter of course they are
always disappointed, and become more than
ever respondent of ever getting well.
Catarrh is an Inflammation of the lining mem
bTane OF the nasal air passages.
DR.. 7. Logan, OF Knoxville, Tenn, president
OF the American Neurological Association, says:
isIn all diseases of the nasal mucus mem brane
the remedy used must be non irritating. The
medical profession has been slow to learn this,
Nothing satisfactory can be accomplished with
douches, snufs. powders, syringes, astringents
or any similar application, because they are all
irritating, do not thoroughly reach the affected
surfacesrand should be abandoned as worse
than failures
This being true, and blood medicines being
also useless, to what conclusion are we driven?
Simply to this: That the successful remedy for
nasal catarrh must be non-irritating, easy OF
application, and one that viii, by its own action,
reach all the remote sores and liberated SUI
faces.
The history of the efforts to treat catarrh dur
ing the past few years obliges us TO admit that
only one remedy has completely met these con-
ditions, and that is Ely's Cream Balm, a prep
aration widely known.
This safe and pleasant remedy has mastered
catarrh as nothing else has ever done, and both
physicians and patients freely concede this fact.
The more distressing symptoms quickly yield
to ii, and multitude of persons who have Tor
years borne all the worry and pain that catarrh
can inf1ict testify to radical and permanent
cures wrought by il. Ely's Cream Balm is per
fectly soothing and agreeable eXciteS no dread,
dissolves the hardened accumulations, lessons
the extreme sensibilities of the nerve eenters to
cold and all external irritants, and is followed
by no reaction.

THE FAITH-AND-oIL CURE.


Rev. George Barnes, 'the Mountain
Evangelist" whose sovereign specific for
the diseases of the flesh was faith and oil,
has been i'll for the first time in six years.
What he did to secure relief may well SUBJ
ject him to the SCOTS of the world. He
did not, as one might very naturally
have expected, put aside the prescription
of the physician. against the necessity of
whose art he has 80 long protested, but he
put mustard plaster upon his back and
took into his system both castor oil and
qulnine. Il was not driven to it." he
ssys, "by the urgency OF the case,
but deliberately tried the remedies recon-
mended because wanted to settle as best
l could the question that has puzzled more
than one faithful soul, wishing, on the one
hand, to trust the Lord fully, and yet, on
the other shrinking from fanat1cism that
seems to turn its back upon the experience
of ages" This is all very ingenious, but
we have to note, from his own confession,
that the good brother promptly resorted
to the long disparaged doctor the moment
he himself felt the approach Of physical
disease 1t is indeed singular that he did
not seek to prove the efficiency of his
own remedy at this, the first oppor-
tunity he had had of ascertaining its
value. Now, what was the result OF the
applications? They performed their per-
feet work and presently Brother Barnes
was well man again. He can not refrain
from acknowledging that, although the
mustard plaster prosecuted the flesh

acarus scabiei had made a raid upon
my epidermous,'') and although the
castor oil was most nauseous, and although
the quinine "set bees to buzzing' in his
poor head, they drove the malaria from
his system and put him upon his pins.
Yet he withholds their full need of praise.
He is simply convinced that the doctors
advice was good and that remedies applied
were eficacious, but he maintains that
his own way is, after all, the wiser way
that faith in the heart and drop of oil on
the brow of a sufferer, according to his
own preaching and practice, where others
are concerned, are infinitely better. 1t is
rather a lame conclusion, despite
Brother Barnes assurances. He
should have tried his faith-and
oil cure first, for he is a brave physician
who tests new remedies upon himself be-
fore prescribing for others. We are prone
to think that the doctors, whose art
Brother Barnes has inveighed against so
persistently, will be inclined to laugh in
their sleeves when they hear that he has
flown in the face of his own doctrine. They
will make rasping jests at his expense, aud
make all manner of cruel comment

TIE Sentinel is receiving many inquiries
regarding the Neal stock law passed by the
last Legislature.
All an mails found running at large,
which are not authorized by the County
Commissioners, must be taken up by the
road supervisor, to be impounded and
disposed of as required by the provisions
of ehspter eleven Of the Revised Statutes
of 1851. 1t is the duty Of the supervisor to
impound animals upon information or
sight, and if he neglects his duty the pen
ally IS a fine of not less than 81 or more
than $ for each offense, and the Township
Trustee is required to retain the fines from
any sum due the supervisor. The act is
now in force and no stock is exempt unIes

THE Kansas City Times has the following
remarks to make relative to the effect OF
the female vote in the Leavenworth cleo
ton:
They maEsed like sheep when hungry wolf
is about and they voted like so many st0ughten
bottles If Garrigues had been a mudturtle
from a lake the women howlers would have
voted for it, just so across the shell on its back
there was carved the word Republican. Instead
of purifying they have added so per cent to the
debauchery OF municipal politics, and proved
to the whole world that If they had the power
they would make Variable hell upon earth
out OF any form OF government that denied au-
thority to moral lepers, and put bit in the
mouth OF every garTulous fanatic who wanted
to preach crusade.
Let US here in Indiana pray that the wo-
men shall be kept out of politics, that they
may not be subjected to comments of this
character. The Times is very severe in its
structures on Mira. Cougar. denouncing her
in unmeasured terms, finding no epithet
TOO vile to apply to her.

Defending nsiss HudeIson.

RUsHvIILE, April 15.-The editor OF the Jack.
sonian comes this week chivalrously to the de-
tense of Miss Jennie Hudelson, the late ma
iron OF the Orphans Home OF this county
After reviewing the evidence adduced at the in
vestigation, the editor concludes as follows
"Tha. the Commissioners did not consider the
home management bad is evident from the fact
that they went and asked her to hold the posi-
ton till the LIST of May, till they could make ar
rangements, which she consented to do, like the
lady she is, though she had house rented and
was readyto go in an hour and intended to do so
from the time the investigation revealed to her
the cruel prejudice against her and the unkind
feeling for her by those prosecuting her. But as
an honorable lady, she could not tender her
resignation under the charges against her, for
that would be admitting them true, and the evil
denee and the finding OF the Commissioners
prove them false"

Gas has been struck at PendletOn, Madi-
son County; tEenty-eight miles northeast
of indianapolis. Anderson, in the same
county, where one of the most abundant
wells in the State is spouting, ls thirty two
miles away. There is another well at
Noblesville, which is only twenty-five
miles distant. II is, therefore, evident that
Indianapolis IS within easy reach Of the gas
belt. This week will tell whether or not
we are actually in it. Madison County
is the next county northeast Of
Marion. Gas has been found
already at three points in that county. The
fact that Pendleton is between Anderson
and Indianapolis on an airline, is very en-
couraging to prespectors in Marion
County. It is scarcely to be doubted that
the fluid viii be found at various points.
The dav that gas shall be found near Indi-
annapolis will be, it is needless to say, red
letter day in the history of the city. Then
will there be a tinkling of GYM
tals end the noise of dancing
IA the streets. In anticipation
Of the event. the Sentinel would suggest
that while prices of real estate will
rise they will not rise forever. and we do
not know better thing for the average
citizen to do than to psruse the chapter Of
the city's history which tells of the real
estate boom Of fourteen years ago. The
study of that chapter, in a spirit OF earn
est and prayerful meditation, may save
some eager individual from going of his
feet entirely.
But the finding Of a copious flow will be
OF incalculable benefit. There would
be no end to the city's development
and prosperity. We could see in the event
the hand OF Providence, who had prepared
the city for it by previously making it the
focal point of fourteen railroads.
1t is, indeed, time for the coal scale to
think of relenting and repenting, for the
gas meter to confess the error OF its way
and to turn its hand to better things, and
for the defective fue to prepare to go out
of business.

Strange Treatment of wife and Child

VEEDERsBURe, April 1s.-NIrs. Mary E. StepI:-
ton, OF Delphos, Ohio, and son, twelve years Oh,
the wife and son Of John Stepleton, whose leg
was crushed by pile-driver and afterward am
putated, arrived here this morning, deeply af-
feeted by the misfortune that had befallen the
husband and father. On arriving at his board
ing-house they were panied to find that the
father refused to recognize either of
them, the boy saying, "Pa, don't you know me-"
They were coolly turned away. The wife was
treated in a still more inhuman manner. Mrs.
Stepleton says she knows OF no cause for such
treatment, and says she has come to render all
assistance in her power. She rendered him the
last dollar In her possession il it would contrib
ute to his comfort The wife seems almost
heart-broken at the slight given her by her hus-
band and the little boy is very respondent.
The G. A. r. Post here have contributed to his
comfort in every way possible, but Stepleton
has shown himself unworthy of the love OF his
wife and child and the kindness shown him by
others

JASPER, April l5.-The gas fever is on us, and
we have IT "bad.' large gathering of the cit

tonight to consult about the propriety OF boring
for gas and oil. The meeting was presided over
by Hon. W. A. Traylor, who presented in brief
address the feasibility of making the effort
Several persons gave their views on the subject,
and from the general opinions and evidences it
does appear that if gas can be found in South
ern Indiana it ought TO be struck in this vicin-
ity. Shares were put at SIS, and $1,000 worth Of
stock was subscribed for on the spot. A COM
mittee was appointed to solicit stock, and when

Both men worked in the shoe-shop, and Harris
